texte = I can't resist chiming in. I, too have had great experiences with webDNA under extreme load. Its data engine is RAM based which is far more appropriate to the internet than anything disk based.I'm always dumbfounded when products advertise that pages are compiled for speed, yet the data interaction needs the hard drive. Its like racing brakes on a wheel chair. RAM is cheap so I always max out the server. I'd make sure that the RAM size is much larger than your largest database if possible. Then you eliminate as much disk swapping as possible.If you find yourself forced to change the server, I'd sure recommend that you experiment first - particularly with heavy traffic loads.Regards,PatOn Jun 28, 2004, at 10:09 AM, Donovan Brooke wrote:> Larry Hewitt wrote:>>> The issue sounds more a matter of data design and data modeling - >> doing dynamic sites involves certain disciplines that take time to >> learn.
